Construction Time Again is the third studio album by British synthpop band Depeche Mode.

In this album, the band continued first time the common today, but then fledgling sampling technique be included in the first single sounds (samples ) and then assembled into a song. The song pipeline, from the text of the name of the album is taken from there, for example, almost entirely from samples. Included were not only instruments but also sounds that are generated by everyday and especially metal objects. This sound also coined the following albums by Depeche Mode.

Construction Time Again is the first album on which Alan Wilder was involved as a member of the band. It was recorded at London's The- Garden - Studio by John Foxx and mixed at Hansa Studios in Berlin. For later albums, the band always returned to Berlin.
